D&M Concrete Co Inc

The project started exactly at the time scheduled. Dan explained the process and gave us suggestions about the upkeep of the driveway. He also provided written information. The team started right away and the project was finished that day. The finished driveway looks great and now we are just waiting for it to cure. The company responded to a question we raised after the project. We would certainly hire them again.

Everybody was very friendly and professional. They gladly took the time to walk me through every step of the project (what they were doing, why they did something, etc) to make sure I was fully satisfied with the experience.

They do excellent work and in a timely manner.

I found D& M very efficient and professional.

Fine - serviced was provided as expected with costs as expected. No surprises.

The crew did a great job through the entire process. I would definitely recommend D & M Concrete to friends and neighbors in the future.

We found this company on Angie's List. The bidding process was comprehensive and easy to understand and there was good communication with the company owner prior to the project starting. We had one pre-project meeting with the owner and crew to discuss our concerns and how they would be addressed and another opportunity to talk after excavation and before the final site grading. The owner took a lot of time to explain "all things concrete" to us so we would understand what to expect. The project was completed on time by obviously knowledgeable and skilled craftsmen who showed impressive teamwork. The site was cleaned up right away. There were no hidden or extra costs. Overall, this is a great company to work with.

The job went great! I originally signed contract July 2014 and Dand M had so many jobs to complete that my project was delayed until later in the year. They kept me up-to-date on their schedule and quoted mid-October to beginning November. Contacted me that they would be at my house at 7:00 am October 27 for pre-construction meeting. Were on time. Met and discussed the project and was told tear out would be Monday and pour would be Tuesday. All was done as promised. Couldn't be happier. Had a neighbor walk by on Friday and asked about the job and was impressed by the price and quality of the result. I referred her to Dand M. Thanks Guys!

The driveway and all concrete work looks beautiful! Very well done fast, on-time, friendly My only complaint was the mess left in the yard, but after complaining about it, D and M Concrete made it right.

They were very apologetic once we made contact and followed up numerous times regarding the quote and if there were any other questions we needed answered. I would not hesitate to work the Dand M in the future.

Originally scheduled to be done in early May...we had a late spring and a wet one that continued into June, putting Dand M behind. Dan did keep me up to date on where I was in line. Bob showed up right on time (7am), ready to do some work. We went over the plan and he started working. I talked him into helping remove a few patio stones so I could give them to a friend, so we stacked about 20 or so to the side. Jason (the finisher), a new guy and the concrete removal guy all showed up shortly after work began. Removal went smooth. The bobcat guy did his best to keep from tearing holes in the yard, but couldn't avoid leaving deep tracks as he went through the only open place in my privacy fence. Bob and Jason propped up the stairs to my deck to have room for the pour to get just underneath them. Bobcat guy disappeared. Not even an hour into the work and everyone was sweating. It hit 93 that day and super-high humidity. I went down and got a case of water and 20lbs of ice to make sure everyone was hydrated. Bobcat guy reappeared with the gravel/base. Forms laid, gravel down, concrete on order. Things were zippin' right along. Before the pour started, they put some plastic along the side of my house, turns out it was so the sealer they apply as a last step didn't get on my siding! Then came the window-framing. All 3 guys worked to get this done. It looked tedious. Jason doing all he could to keep the stinging sweat from rolling into his eyes, while trying to do this 'neato' finish work. 'New guy' was cleaning up all the tools and stuff from the yard. When done, it looked great! All the info I needed of when I could walk on it and sealing it was provided. Everyone was friendly. Obviously this was a job for the Pro's...not a pseudo-handyman like myself. I though the price was fair and I received a good value for the money. If there was a and quot;-and quot; (minus) option in the grading system here, I would add that to the 'A' for the quality. I'm no concrete guy and this is the first outside/fancy thing I ever paid for. It was blast-furnace hot and I could tell the workers were quickly trying to work the concrete before it setup in the scorching sun... But, there is a small area on the curved side, that had a slightly different material used when laying out the form. It consequently left a slightly irregular shape in the curve. No-one else may ever notice it...it might not be visible once I lay the colored brick around that edge...?

The work was postponed a couple of times because of weather, but I was always notified in plenty of time. On the day of installation, Dan arrived with the work supervisors early in the morning to make sure that the project would go as I envisioned it. He even suggested that they add two feet to the side extension (at no additional cost to me) so that I would be sure to have room for parking an additional car. Then the work crew arrived, and they were amazing in how quickly and professionally they removed the old asphalt driveway. I was concerned that they would damage the brick on the house which abuts the driveway, but they were careful not to. They spent time preparing the base and installing rebar according to specifications. The work crew were very helpful in consulting with me on questions they had about the design and suggestions they made about curving the outer edge. When the concrete trucks arrived, so did many more crew members who worked quickly and professionally to fill the forms and smooth and finish the surface. It was incredible to watch them work. After the concrete cured, I was concerned about a gap between the driveway and the brick of the house, so Dan sent out one of the crew to caulk and fill the gap (again at no additional cost to me). At Dan's recommendation I had the driveway sealed in the fall, and the driveway weathered the harsh winter with no deterioration of any kind. I appreciated the professional way all work was done and all the free upgrades that they provided. I did choose the include upgrades such as a thicker layer of cement and more closely spaced rebar. I would recommend them without reservation (and have to friends and to people who have stopped by to ask who did the work).

I was working on planning a large project for a few months. He explained things I needed and how to do them. In the end, mainly due to my problems he was too busy to do the work I needed. He called me back promptly and told me that and even gave me some free advice. Overall he seemed like a great guy.

He went way over what he could have done to make sure I did the right thing, even telling me to "use his name" at the concrete supply store. Great guy.

We received excellent service from Dan Knipfer and his crew. Dan responded promptly to my phone message requesting a quote. He sent someone out to personally survey the job in order to give us a detailed quote. The quote included several additional options, one of which was bringing in fill dirt and seeding the areas adjacent to the new pours. But the work crew was so careful about removing and replacing the existing sod that fill dirt and seed wasn't necessary. Dan unhesitatingly removed that charge from our bill. Even though the adjacent sidewalk slab hadn't sunk to the point of requiring replacement, Dan had the crew do it so as to maintain consistency in the finished grade and didn't charge us for the and quot;not requiredand quot; sidewalk slab. The crew did an excellent job removing the old concrete slabs, hauling the waste material away and cleaning up the job site when the work was completed. Inclement weather pushed the job schedule back almost a week, but I was impressed that Dan wanted the work done right, not fast. He kept in regular communication with us throughout the delay period. The most impressive thing to me about Dand M Concrete is the outstanding service they provided, and not just the quality of the actual job. The company sent us detailed information prior to doing the work explaining in detail how the job would be scheduled and ultimately how the work would be performed. They followed up the work with detailed information on how to properly maintain and care for all of our concrete in this climate so as to preserve our investment. I can't say enough about how well this company, particularly Dan Knipfer, treated us throughout the process. I called two other companies for bids, in addition to Dand M. Though Dand M Concrete's bid was the highest (by a couple of hundred dollars), they were the only company to actually come to our home to meet with us in person and explain the job in detail to us. That, and their on-going customer service throughout the process, impressed me the most. I would definitely hire Dand M Concrete for any future projects, and would recommend them with enthusiasm to family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers needing any kind of concrete work done! Dand M Concrete Company did an outstanding job.

They had a great quote. I had some questions afterwards, and the owner called me back. We had a good overall experience with them. Their punctuality was good, but they got behind a little bit. They were very professional.

This company was courteous, friendly, and professional throughout the process. We had several different companies come out for an estimate. This company provided a competitive price, completed the job in a timely manner, and we were completely satisfied with the results.

The old stairs were poorly constructed, with damage that caused safety concerns. Since the stairs needed to be replaced we asked the bidding contractors to help us redesign the appearance of the stairs. Working from our description without detailed drawings D and M Concrete managed to form and install what we had described. They were responsive, cooperative and creative.

Dan was great to work with. He came to do the estimate the day I called him. We had the estimate three days later. We received three estimates, and his was the lowest by just a bit. To seal the deal, he agreed to provide the black dirt and seed for free. We met with him the following week to talk about the final details. We had hoped to expand the apron on our driveway to the full width the city originally provided in laying out the curb and gutter (our previous asphalt driveway only filled part of the opening). Dan worked with the City of Madison, only to be told that not only could we not expand the apron, but we had to spend an extra $200 to redo the curb and gutter so that it was the same width as the new poured driveway. This is city bureaucracy as its worst. I'm sure this was a headache for Dan, and we felt like he tried his best on our behalf. Dan was very responsive, and kept the lines of communication open. We did downgrade him just a bit for being unable to prevail in our disagreement with the city. His staff seemed competent and we are very pleased with the work that was done. We recommend him without reservation.

I called D and M and spoke to Dan Knipfer. He was very polite and helpful, and though he was a little leery of doing the estimate given that I don't own the building yet, he nonetheless agreed to come and do it within three business days. He did, and very promptly mailed me a detailed estimate including several different options for quality of materials. I will very gladly have D and M do the work if I end up buying this building.

Very good. The work was completed in one day,

This job went very smoothly. They were efficient and I was impressed by the team Dand M had perform the job. They were easy to work with, did what we hired them for in 2 days and we paid the contract amount upon completion. It was a smooth transaction all around.

This was about as pleasant as it could get. Dan came out on the same day that we requested an estimate and provided us with his suggestions, and followed up with his proposal. Working around the weather, Dan and his crew showed up and the work to be done was reviewed and agreed upon by all parties. Dan's crew started and stayed with the project until it was finished. Dan's onsite foreman stayed behind and tidied up and made sure that everything was buttoned up and done to satisfaction. What I appreciate most is the element of trust. Dan did not require a down payment prior to starting the project. Payment was not required until the project was completely finished and we were completely satisfied with the work. I would strongly recommend Dand M Concrete!

Good ideas applied to a difficult problem that another contractor wouldn't even quote on. Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable workers.

Could not have been happier with the process/results.
